When tax season rolls around, Orlando residents look for ways to make the most of tax credits. If you ordered the Polywood Shutter Insulating System from Sunburst Shutters Orlando in 2017, you’re likely eligible for the 2017 Federal Energy Tax Credit. And contact your tax specialist if you have specific questions that are not addressed here.

Polywood® Shutter Insulating Systems qualify for the Federal Tax Credit under the category of “Insulating Products.” Polywood is specifically designed to reduce heat loss or gain in a home or building and meets the requirements established for insulating systems as set forth by the IRS and IECC.

How Much Is The 2017 Energy Tax Credit For Polywood Shutters?

Floridians may be eligible for a tax credit for energy efficient window treatments of 10% of the cost, up to a maximum credit of $500. This credit only applies to Polywood Shutters installed between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017.

How Do Polywood Shutters Save Energy?

Polywood shutters are crafted from a synthetic material created with energy savings in mind. We included weather stripping on the vertical ends of the shutter panel. This allows the shutters to block out heat gain or loss when closed. You won’t find these features in any other indoor shutters in Orlando, FL!

Polywood shutters diminish airflow by up to 45%. They block temperature by 30 degrees. And they’re proven to enhance the solar heat gain, U Factor, and R Value of any window. This means your furnace doesn’t have to be working all the time to maintain your house at a cozy temperature - and huge energy savings for you!
